KTVU's Steve Paulson interviewed Robin Grossinger and Erin Beller of SFEI to learn how their historical ecology work in Napa has shed light on ways that natural processes might help, rather than hinder, flood protection strategies.

The two scientists describe the practice of historical ecology, its rigor and its challenges, as well as what light it can shed on ways to work with a watershed's potential to yield more optimized ecosystem services. See the following video for another illustration of ways that SFEI's influential message about restoring natural watershed processes is connecting meaningfully with a mainstream audience.
